Readings on Christmas Eve

0 Amens

Amen

Our kids get excited because they're getting presents on Jesus' birthday. Doesn't that seem backwards? Shouldn't we be bringing gifts, rather than receiving them. But the Magi weren't bringing birthday gifts to the Christ child. Years after Jesus' birth, the Magi seek Him out, prostrate themselves and present their offerings, their tangible acts of worship. The great gift of Christmas is Christ himself.
